new dealextreme?
« on: July 29, 2008, 06:04:06 PM »

i found this site being advertised on qj(science section) and it cought my eye when i saw a psp battery, so i went there and it looks like a copy of dealextreme . It seems they use ups and they offer free shipping :dribble:,

update: this site is no scam and is faster than dx at shipping.

Only one way to find out, isnt there? Just order something cheap, take free shipping, and see for yourself.

Somewhat limited selection though...and low price PSP batteries = EPIC FAILURES. Dont even try those.

True...and there isnt actually any reviews on the site, is there?

I say stick to DX, this seems to good to be true, so it probably is.

Sure its real I just ordered a battery for my phat a 2200 mah one and i talked to a person on the live support and confirmed with him that i will recive a factory sony battery just like i would buy in walmart. I bet he kinda hated me at first because i was like interrogating him and he showed me some reviews on products and they take pay pal so no real fear of them stealing info i also ordered a soft pouch so we will see i figured id be the one to test it.

I strongly disagree i think that actually validates they not like stealing pics or putting up generic pics like E-bay or other sites. They simply rushed in taking pics of inventory and who cares wii is gay so the person didn't know how to put it on and rushed in taking a pic big deal. That dose not mean you should not buy from a site i mean price is good and well see when my stuff gets here if its a scam but it is better then some sites that probably spend no more than 4 dollars at the absolute maximum to make a make or buy a pcb and sell it for almost 30 dollars. or any other site that is exploiting their access  to cheaply made products to sell at least double what they paid for them it is really up to you what you think a scam is

umm ok i know that but my point was that its up to you if you think that its a scam for some companys to completly exploit their coustomers with profits of up to 4 times the cost of their product that is kinda drastic but yes i realize a company must make some profit to keep runing why do you allways have such a argumentative attitude there's 2 ways to look at everything ya know.

Well i recuved my items and they are indeed sony products the sock and a 2200mAh batt for 5 bucks not bad and shipping is way faster then dx

dang, prices are very similar to dx's. especially those soft pouches. theres 2 shell for the ds, the blue one doesnt look glossy like original ones, but it could be the flash. they also reuse pict, like the blue shell the back is matted, and on the orig looking black one it looks exactly the same as the matted ones. it does seem like a new site though.

lol at the wiimote.

thanks for sharing this site.

Edit: they sell items saying they are sony, although it isn't. Like the psp extended batteries, those are not genuine, but unlike dx they dont photoshop the pict and stuff like remove sony from the description. They also sell some wii chips and also SEEM to see some fake ds games.

it seems like focalprice is slowly looking like dx, they just added psp slim parts and ds housing different ones than dx. as for slim parts there are umd doors, analog sticks, and battery caps oh and theres a d-pad, abxy, homebar ribbon package!! this is awesome  :tup:

I think the time to ship to your house is about the same as DX because both sites ship from Hong Kong.
